Neymar faces 2 years in prison

As the French newspaper reports, citing court documents, the striker of French champions Paris Saint-Germain must appear in person before a court in Barcelona on Monday. The 30-year-old is accused of fraud and corruption. In addition to the prison sentence, the Barcelona public prosecutor's office is also demanding a fine of ten million euros. In addition to Neymar, his father, the then Barcelona boss Sandro Rosell and FC Barcelona are also accused, according to “Le Parisien”. Rosell's successor Josep Bartomeu is scheduled to testify on October 21st, and the trial is scheduled for October 17th to 31st. According to the report, Rosell even faces five years in prison. Investment fund sues Neymar In 2013, Neymar, who was then considered one of the greatest talents in world football, moved to the Catalans for a reported 57,1 million euros. According to the Spanish top club, 40 million euros were said to have flowed to Neymar and his family and 17,1 million euros to FC Santos. However, the judiciary in Brazil assumes that the deal was worth around 83 million euros. The investment fund DIS, which held 40 percent of the rights to Neymar at the time, sued Neymar, his father, FC Barcelona and Barça's ex-president Rosell. There is a suspicion that FC Barcelona deliberately undervalued the transfer in order to save costs. In 2017, Neymar moved from FC Barcelona to Paris for a record sum of 222 million euros.
